"Lifted" is a song written by British duo Lighthouse Family, for their debut album Ocean Drive (1996). The song was produced by Mike Peden. It was released as the lead single on May 1995 and reached the top 70 in the United Kingdom. It was later re-released on February 1996 and reached the top 10 in the United Kingdom. In 1999, "Lifted" was again re-released but with a different single cover.
The song was used as the official campaign song for the British Labour Party under Tony Blair in the 2001 general election.
The song was also used as the theme song for 2018 at Maris Stella High School. This song, played before the school's Morning Assembly ceremony, highlights the school vision "Every Marist, a Gentleman of Faith, Vision and Service" in celebration of the school's 60th Anniversary.
